Started by the dude who allegedly left Gamespot over the Kane & Lynch debacle. Looks like he's enjoying the limelight.
5 point review scales are lame.

Big deal, the game will be exactly the same no matter what that one reviewer thinks. Just go have fun with it.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
Somebody get the Kool-aid, I'll grab the cyanide...
@manuelf you are way too concerned with what others think about this game. face it some people are going to think it sucks balls. It isn't the best game ever created that will get pure tens across the board and it isnt a matter of life or death
@Alasted: Is that a NordLead in your sig? Looks nice.

Those five point systems can be dreadful or awesome at times. I'm more surprised at who the reviewer was. That tops it. Its just one of those outliers you have to expect with anything that multiple people or groups give their opinions on.

"I started with nothing. I still have most of it."
Ah, Jeff Gerstmann. The man who gave Twilight Princess an 8.8, and then just a few months later WarioWare: Smooth Moves a 9.2.
As much as I didn't like the manner in which he departed GameSpot, I was by no means sad that he left.

Thanks, Fax. Actually it's a Nord Electro. Pretty sweet looking, and it's got a killer Hammond organ sound.
I've never had the good fortune of working with a Nord Lead before.
